Merry Christmas 2024

Heyo,

Just wishing you the very best this Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Thank you for your on-going support throughout this year and sticking with me as I release my first doujin. Going to continue to be gone for awhile as I work on a couple of other things and building up the backlog again. I have some fun ideas that I would love to flesh out and present to you for 2025.

This image will be released to the public on Christmas day, the 25th of December.

October Billing Paused

Heyo,

I need some time to build up a post list again. Due to this, I've paused the October billing. Due to the new Patreon billing changes, some of you may have been billed incorrectly. If this is the case and you were affected, please reach out to me and I can refund you.

Hopefully back in November if not December.

Constraints - Complete

And here is the final collection of all of the pages, including a few bonus pages alongside revisions to some pages to improve posing or quality. I have attached the PDF for the doujin alongside a .rar file of all of the .PNGs for you to download. This wouldn't have been possible, especially not the audioplay portion, if it wasn't for your support.

Alongside these files is the audioplay. Please find the video here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IP7R7F07NDwQ8Quk-sL08A_ip_uKTmpX/view?usp=sharing

And here is the Patreon post for the video if you want to watch it that way: https://www.patreon.com/posts/112273221/

Constraints - Audioplay

Immerse yourself in Yuu's emotional journey like never before with the audio play adaptation of her story. You’ll hear her hesitant breath, the soft tremble in her voice, and the growing intensity of her surrender. Let the whispers, sighs, and moans guide you deeper into Yuu's world, where submission becomes an audible sensation.

This page includes the audioplay video as well as the .MP3. Please find the files in the following link: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1NT6tA7jo9TwVMuzwzu8P-8v49IzoJFva

The end. I'm so glad that I took on this project. It's been really pleasant to be able to put my thoughts about the topic into something like this. I've always wanted a story focusing primarily on the bondage and the reasoning behind the appeal out there. Thank you all again for being there to support me throughout this entire ordeal.

The finalized version will be collected and a summary post will be made that will include the audioplay alongside some revised pages and bonus pages on the same release date as the doujin - September 21st.

The first panel needs some work, need to increase the size of her body. Also forgot to add the tape marks on her face for the second and third panels, alongside the wrist marks to be emphasized in the next page. The original plan was to have no dialogue for the two panels on the left featuring the letter and the guy, but it was looking rather empty. And now, with the dialogue, the self-narration is repeating information, so I'm not sure what to do about that. Also, I have the flow of the page is legible, it's a little bit hard to direct things but I hope the larger cut of the bottom right panel nudges things along.

Just one more page <3

Clapping sounds to be added to the top row of panels. So close to being done now C: Just two more pages. Just wanted to thank you all again for your support throughout this entire process, I know that it's been a whole year since I started this project and between restarting it multiple times to things getting in the way, it feels sureal to almost be done with it. Thank you.

And Happy Birthday to me ^:)

Maybe too much text again, perhaps that second paragraph should be removed as it's redundant against the next three panels. The bottom panel also needs some idle chatter bubbles. Also, that's it for the bondage C: It's time to bring the story to an end.

The first panel's background needs adjustments, the text also needs to be re-spaced to be read right to left. My gaijin brain defaulted on that one, but I wish I could keep that drop in the reader's eye from 'Mmpphh!!' to 'Nnn...', it really helps capture that sense of defeat.

Future of this Patreon following the Doujin Release

I'm just wrapping up some final details of the doujin. You are scheduled to receive the final page on the 18th of September, with the final release on the 21st of September. Following its release, there will be a short break, just so that I can focus on other things. I'll put the Patreon on pause starting in October which will last until I return possibly in November.

I think it would be fun for the remainder of the year to either have series-focused months (so all of the drawings that come out for said month would pertain to characters within one series) or I could go back over some of the sketches that I didn't have a chance to finish and work on them. Please let me know which you would prefer, if it's the prior then please suggest some series and characters.

If both of those ideas aren't appealing to you, I'm open to hearing ideas. I still have a couple of stragglers in the commission queue that I need to work through but it would be nice to just work on fun ideas for myself as well.

Constraints - Page 17

Sound effects would be good here, krrtt, chttt, fwoop, ziiip. Maybe breathing effects, soft little ah, mm, ngh as well. Some panels are better done than others but we're almost done. I think her having only one strip of tape in the prior segment also helps this portion since it makes for a much more considerable increase in the gag intensity.

I'm not the biggest fan of wrap-around tape gags, always gets super tangled in your hair; but they sure are effective in making you feel helpless.

Trying to create a forward momentum with the eyes by moving from the text in the bottom right on the 1st panel to the 2nd panel. Please let me know if it works, if not, may speedlines would need to be added.

Some onomatopoeia would really help this page out. Also dang, that tail for the speak for bubble in the first panel is pretty thick. Overall pretty happy with the page, really like the second panel. Please suggest improves if you can think of them C:

Maybe the bottom panel's text bubble should be moved. I also want to revise the guy's speech bubbles in the past pages to be more square like so, both to seperate him from Yuu as well as to signify that he's being more bombastic with his speech.

I think I need to get rid of the panties showing and I need to add her right arm cutting over the skirt. This is the peak of the story, and this monologue is the central thesis for the story - so the page needs to be the best that it can be.

Regarding Patreon-Apple's Surcharge

Please note, starting November 1st, Apple is going to use it's iOS payment system for all patreon payments made through Apple's iOS. This comes with a 30% surcharge.

As a patron this will affect you if you are using Apple, or connecting and paying patreon through the iOS App. All other users (website, android, etc) should NOT be effected.

If you are using an iOS app to connect to pay your patreon subscriptions, I would recommend you switch to paying through the website to avoid said surcharge.

Constraints - Page 12

Maybe some indication of breath for the first panel, maybe revisions to the background would be good as well, maybe I should go back and add some shadow underneath the character.

It's really hot in scenes when the damsel tests out their bonds so that the audience to see that they are truly stuck. Maybe some motion lines would improve this page, or maybe just people's legs; it just feels a little empty compared to the other pages.

For the eyebrows and eyes, I will be going back over them and hatching over them in the same style as this other drawing that I was working on. Beyond that, this is also when we start to focus more on the bondage itself, after the shock and the humiliation and the helplessness has washed over. The next couple of pages is just her rolling around, testing your bonds as you would C:

I had adjusted the location of the text for the first panel, so the flow is a bit disjointed. I'm also wondering if the writing might be leaning a little too much into Stan Lee-ism where it re-iterates what is already shown. But I think that the core is still good, perhaps a re-run through the script might be a good idea for the clean-up.

I'm a little mixed between one strip vs multiple strips for the gag moving forward; on one hand, I think it leads to a cleaner look, but on the other, I know that one strip isn't going to do anything : P I think I will go back and add more strips.

I also think I might re-do the first panel text bubble and just write out the Mmmph!! to create a larger impact for it.

I think I can definitely improve this page, when I'm going back over the second pass, I think I will add a background to these panels. Please let me know if the flow of the page works, I think the shoe/leg overlapping into the top panel helps guide things along.

Genuinely don't know what I was thinking with the bottom panel when I was thumbnailing the page : ( I have no clue how to fix it either in a reasonable manner since she's still on the ground in the next page.

Heyo,

Like I said, these comic pages will be replacing the usual weekly drawings. I've revised the style that I want to go for to have more blacks and more hatching since page 1-3 were rather barren upon review. I do believe that those pages will need to be re-done, especially page 2; but that will have to be for the end of the process.

Speaking of, please give me your thoughts on anything that can be improved; there will be a final pass that will happen after all of the pages are done - errors in the prose, improvements for sounds, mistakes in the drawing - everything will be noted and I will try to improve it as best as I can.

For the time being, two pages will be uploaded a week - Wed and Sat. The original timeline was to have the comic be done by July, but due to commissions, that has been pushed back to a tentative September.
